In May 2012, the North Korean Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries invited Norwegian conceptual artist Morten Traavik to co-host the first ever Norwegian cultural festival in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang on the national day of Norway. Traavik went to North Korea together with a group of Norwegian musicians and artists and arranged the festival on the 17th of May 2012. He named the festival ‘Yes, We Love this Country’, a play on the title of the Norwegian national anthem. This documentary puts the viewer in the middle of the controversial project and forces viewers to make up their own minds on whether it is right or wrong to engage in one of the most brutal regimes in the world.
